KAYTRANADA’s latest album, TIMELESS, dropped on June 7, 2024, and it’s an electrifying ride from start to finish. With 21 tracks of groovy, electronic goodness, this project feels like a natural evolution of his sound, bringing a fresh intensity that builds on the vibe of BUBBA while keeping his signature style intact. From the very first beat, it’s clear that TIMELESS is built to make you move.
This album carries that same vibrant energy KAYTRANADA is known for, but it’s dialed up. Tracks like “Call U Up,” “Drip Sweat,” “Weird,” and “Lover/Friend” are bangers that channel his true sound, heavy on bass and full of irresistible rhythms. Each beat feels crafted to perfection, creating an atmosphere that pulls you onto the dance floor and keeps you there.
Collaborations elevate this project to new heights, with big names like Don Toliver, Charlotte Day Wilson, Channel Tres, Thundercat, and PinkPantheress adding their own flair to the mix. These features blend seamlessly into the album’s funky, groove-heavy atmosphere, creating a rich, immersive experience.
While TIMELESS brings new ideas to the table, it stays rooted in the essence of what makes KAYTRANADA special. His flawless fusion of electronic, funk, and hip-hop remains intact, but the energy here is more intense, more alive. It’s a brilliant exploration of his evolving artistry without losing the core of what fans love. Would I buy a vinyl of this? No doubt—this album is a collector’s dream.
KAYTRANADA has come a long way from being a Montreal-based DJ to becoming a two-time GRAMMY winner, and TIMELESS cements his place at the forefront of modern electronic music. The way he stays true to his sound is masterful, and this album is a prime example of why he’s so revered in the industry.
TIMELESS is a stellar listen that captures KAYTRANADA’s growth as an artist while maintaining his unmistakable sound. It’s packed with hits, staying true to his signature style, and is an essential addition to any electronic music playlist. If you’re a fan of deep grooves and infectious rhythms, this album is bound to become a staple in your rotation.
